Space recently announced it would bring back Bitten for a second season and now Syfy has jumped on board.

The U.S. network aired the first season of the series, which stars Toronto-born Laura Vandervoort (Smallville) as the world’s only female werewolf, and announced Friday that it’s signed on for Season 2.

“Bitten . . . has found a growing and passionate fan base on our channel,” said Chris Regina, Syfy’s senior vice-president of programming, in a news release.

The show averaged 1.1 million total viewers on the U.S. channel while it was the Space channel’s most-watched original series ever, reaching more than a million viewers a week and averaging 347,000 viewers for initial Saturday broadcasts.

Space says the series also gained a loyal social media following and spurred a #RenewBitten campaign on Twitter, with celebrity fans like Lance Bass, Nikki Reed and Dean Cain.

The show, which is based on Kelley Armstrong’s Women of the Otherworld series of novels, is produced by Entertainment One.
